You wouldn't be able to dial your elevation, but would easily be able to use holdovers.

    If this accurately reads past 1,000 I'll definitely be buying one. A user could either use this on a rifle, or I imagine it could be zero'd to a spotter with a reticle in it.
    I will probably put one on a REPR that has a NF F1. The rifle is zero'ed for 100 yards with zero stops locked. I'll set the visible laser to the zero'ed crosshairs (zero'ed for POI at 100 yards) at 500 yards at 15X magnification. That should mean that the IR laser will be reasonably accurate within a few inches out to 1000 yards. I will the just put my 100-yard zero'ed crosshairs on whatever structure that I need ranged, then adjust the dope accordingly.
    I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

    The fact the integral 9mm is on a S&W frame should be a good clue as to who S&W/GD teamed with for the MHS procurement, dontcha think?

    ...and if they just made the Saker with an ASR they could have compatibility with Specwar, Omega, Hybrid, etc.

    I assume this will happen soon. MAAD just doesn't make sense anymore.

    I would purchase a 762 Saker K, today (as in right now).

    That's interesting... WHY?

    Are you concerned about durability? The Omega is full auto and magnum rated.

    Are you just looking for a louder, heavier can than the Omega?

    Even the full sized Saker can't compete.

    My suspicion is that some people are heavily invested in the Saker's Trifecta MAAD mounting system and don't want to go changing muzzle devices on 6 or 7 guns. Otherwise, I agree that a Saker K would be a step backwards from the Omega. I think that we are far more likely to see a Trifecta mount compatible Omega before a 762 Saker K.

    I have to agree with KalshniKev on this, SiCo seems to be walking by from the MAAD and greatly favoring the ASR which is likely cheaper to make and probably equal if not better in the aspects they are concerned about.

    The ASR can get you Saker, SpecWar, Octane, Harvester Big, and Hybrid. It's what the AAC 51T and now 90T wishes it could be. I'm pleased very much with the Surefire Socom mount, but doing it all over today, the ASR would be hard to not consider. I suppose taking a step back though, none of the mount systems are perfect, and I'm into dedicated cans now, and there is no reason to take them off if they're dedicated.



    The Maxim appears to be a new handgun in the shape of an M&P but I'm fairly certain the common parts are less than 50%. I sort of wonder what logo will be on that gun... Maybe they worked with S&W on this?



    As to the Range Finder.... I'd be interested in one for a tripod that could also mount on the gun, but definitely not as an always on the gun thing. I could see occasional hunting uses for that, but for real long real precsision, you're working with a spotter anyhow. I'm interested to see where that ends up in the line of:

    A MAAD adapter for the Omega does exist. It is being made by a third party manufacturer. Looks fine. http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/vi...c.php?t=132962

    The Omega isn't rated for 14.5" 308 barrels, or 5.56 under 10". The Trifecta mount also enables users to put the suppressor under rails that would cover the ASR latch. These are all minority niche uses, but still being utilized by a decent amount of people (whether you agree with it or not).

    The reality is the Omega will never be as strong as the Saker. If YOUR needs don't require the extra robustness then enjoy your Omega (it's a great can). But others appreciate the added durability over weight and the minor decrease in decibels.

    Yeah, the M&P parts are just part of the test mule. The final product is supposed to be all in-house SiCo.
